key features

Tested for unforgiving environments

Thermal cycling testing
We use a thermal chamber to recreate the extreme temperature swings this regulator experiences in flight, so we know it performs reliably when conditions change.
Voltage variation interface
This interface simulates system-level power fluctuations to ensure the regulator maintains electrical stability under changing loads.
Live signal monitoring
This captures and reviews real-time sensor readings during stress tests to verify performance before shipping.
Production-ready compliance testing
Environmental and electrical validation is built directly into our prototype manufacturing and low volume manufacturing workflows to meet aerospace standards.
Serialization and test tracking
Each unit’s performance data is linked to its serial number, providing complete traceability for audits, maintenance or replacements.
PRODUCTION OUTCOMES

Results that make a difference

Confidence in every unit
We built a custom test fixture that replicated flight-level temperature and voltage extremes so customers know their regulators will perform when it matters most.
Schedules that stay on track
We integrated validation directly into production to cut out third-party lab delays and deliver finished units sooner.
No guesswork in the field
We linked each unit’s performance data to its serial number so any future service or replacement starts with a complete history in hand.
project overview
Proving reliability in mission-critical environments

JASC developed a highly accurate electronically-controlled pressure regulating system for mission-critical aerospace use. The controller we make for this system is a small but essential device that monitors and adjusts pressure within an extremely tight tolerance band. This level of precision gives engineers more structural margin in the design.

Our integrated design and engineering partner, 28 Gorilla, led the design review and subsequent redesign of the controller. Once the updates were complete, 29Tech took over prototype manufacturing, low volume manufacturing and compliance testing. We build every controller and make sure each unit will survive the rigorous operational environments before it’s delivered to the customer.

the challenge

Validating performance before it takes flight

Pressure regulation is critical to safe aerospace operations, whether it’s placing a satellite or powering another high-value system. Proving that a regulator can withstand real-world stress is a challenge on its own. JASC’s previous vendor couldn’t test for the environmental and electrical extremes in-house. That meant relying on outside labs, which added cost, slowed delivery and made it harder to get precise, component-level results.

JASC needed a manufacturing partner with the tools, skill and supply chain operations management to test and validate every unit before shipping, with results they could trust in the most demanding environments.

our approach

Replicating the stresses to earn customer confidence

We built on 28 Gorilla’s updated design and used an advanced burn-in station that matches the conditions this regulator faces in service. That includes controlled thermal cycling, voltage changes and constant signal monitoring to see exactly how each unit performs under stress.

Every regulator goes through this process with results checked against strict pass or fail requirements. We log the data and connect it to the unit’s serial number for complete traceability. By building this validation into our manufacturing quality control, we cut lead times, improve accuracy and give JASC confidence in every shipment.

Flight systems don’t give second chances, so we don’t either. Every regulator gets pushed through the same stress it will face in service. That’s how we deliver confidence, not just parts.
